Future[WriteResult] is Failing with ArrayOutOfBounds exception while using scalatest-embedMongo with reactivemongo scala driver version 0.11.5

Question

I am using scalatest-embedMongo as In-memory version of mongoDB for a Scala application. I have currently upgraded my reactivemongo driver from version 0.10.x to version 0.11.5. The scalatest-embedMongo was working fine with the previous version of reactive mongo scala driver but, with the upgraded version of reactive mongo driver, The WriteResult Future is always returning with a Failure containing ArrayIndexOutOfBounds sourcing from the reactiveMongo driver API. I am puzzled with this new exception.

Here goes the entire stack trace:

First, Scalatest embed mongo is not design to embed mongo in production (in fact it is not tested for that) but if it work for you i'm ok.

Second, If I remember, the version of mongo db used is important related with reactivemongo version. What MongoDb version do you set when you start a EmbedMongo instance ? By default, is is 2.4.8 that was set (I do invest time to update code) and it is not supported by the driver.
